If lgbt theatre were to only include the plays and acts written by and for the homosexual community, then this type of theatre probably wouldn't exist before the gay liberation in the 1970's. This would include the play we are looking at, Execution of Justice, but would exclude a variety of political plays not solely based around homosexuality. That definition excludes plays written about problems that coincided with prejudice against homosexuals all throughout the 20th century. This would be things such as mental and physical abuse. It would be better to talk about all plays including issues of sexuality including those issues that come with the prejudice for homosexuals. The name for this type of theatre is commonly called queer theatre, and as stated earlier, became very prominent after the homosexual revolution in the 70's.
